i was just after the cut-off and my mom had them test me and get me in, i still remember doing some of the testing! lol
as far as his level of giftedness, no idea. DS10 was skip counting at age 2 by 2, 5 and 10. knew his alphabet, all the shapes (trapezoid, polygons, etc), was reading, starting to play complex video games. we more discovered he knew this stuff rather than taught him any of it! we were lucky to have a gifted preschool to send him to. Never had him in a traditional school so I don't even have a clue where "normal ability" kids are and how far ahead we ever are! Actually my poor 2nd born child (MG) probably gets have the props she deserves because we only have her older PG DS to compare to!
